    Tories blasted for links to medical cannabis industry despite UK ban on "life-saving" drugs.


    Brief copy and paste of story.


    Ministers insist the cannabis has “no medical value”, but still allow British firms to produce it under a special licence for sale to a foreign market.

    The mum of a child denied *the medical cannabis that stopped his seizures has told of her fury over Tory links to British firms that supply the drug abroad.
    Charlotte Caldwell spoke after it was revealed Theresa May’s husband Philip’s Capital Group is the largest investor in GW Pharmaceuticals, which mass produces it here, where it is banned, for a foreign market.

    GW chairman Geoffrey Guy is a Tory donor and drugs minister Victoria Atkins is married to Paul Kenward, boss of British Sugar, another medical cannabis supplier.
    Ministers insist the drug has “no medical value”, but still allow British firms to produce it under a special licence.
    And GW use it in its anti-epilepsy medicine Epidiolex.

    Charlotte, whose son Billy, 12, relies on cannabis oil to stop him having up to 100 seizures a day, accused the Tories of putting his life at risk by denying him the drug.
    The 50-year-old said: “Why is my son being left to die in his own country by his own government? I can tell you why, greed and hypocrisy and it’s a recipe that will kill Billy.”
